Early Action

<p>Ok so I'm interested in both UPenn and UNC for early admissions. The thing is UPenn has Early Decision which is binding and UNC doesn't. If I did UPenn ED and UNC EA, would UNC by any chance see that and be like ***? I don't think I'll get into UPenn regardless but yeah. Just curious. My parents have already said that if I get into UPenn, they will send me there for sure so it's not about whether I'm committed or not but whether UNC will see that I applied ED to Penn and judge me or something (regardless of whether I get into Penn or not). I just want to guarantee myself a spot at UNC in case I fall flat everywhere else. Thanks</p>

<p>UNC EA is not binding. You can apply early to other schools.</p>

<p>^ I don’t think that was his question.</p>

<p>Colleges can’t share information about applicants with other colleges, so the only way that UNC will know is if you tell them. Don’t worry about it.</p>

<p>^ I mean, UNC can’t be shocked/upset at OP’s decision to apply ED to another school because their policy specifically states one can do so. They can’t hold it against the OP. But yes, I think you’re right in that UNC won’t know in the first place. :)</p>

<p>Ah, I see what you meant now!</p>

<p>Normally you can apply ED to only one college and EA or Regular to any number of them but I remember seeing some posts in past where HS were discouraging students to apply EA if they apply ED to one college.</p>

<p>You should contact your HS COllege Consular to understand the policy.</p>

<p>Hmmm thanks for info guys</p>

<p>@prdparent, I will make sure to ask my counselor</p>
